The Laborer defends craft against accusations of irresponsibility, joining money, tools, dreamwork, back, earth, and sky until labor becomes a way of being watched back.

Knowing what millionaires know does not liberate the speaker into comfort; it only sharpens the suspicion that practical knowledge is being misread. Alone with any tool, the worker enters a private intelligence where brain, back, and circumstance answer to one another. The dream becomes credible because it looks back at him, and that mutual gaze extends upward when the sky begins watching too.

'The Laborer': being called irresponsible because you know what the millionaires know; 'make it a poem / Quadtriple the circumstance.' Alone with any tool you see your ugliest deeds; the dream watches you back.
